UK ATRS (Algorithmic Transparency Recording Standard)
Cabinet Office + CDDO. ATRS-aligned records produced from the runtime decision, not from a quarterly catalogue refresh.
apartment Public sector
Runtime authority for citizen-facing AI.
When a citizen complaint, an ICO referral, a parliamentary question or a judicial-review case asks who or what acted, on whose authority, under what oversight — KYE Protocol™ produces a contemporaneous, signed, replayable record. Not assembled by counsel after the FOI request. Sealed at the moment the AI shaped the decision.
Public-sector AI accountability frameworks
The contemporaneous-record requirement, by reference.
OECD AI Principles
Inclusive growth · human-centred values · transparency · robustness · accountability. Signed Evidence Pack™ per decision satisfies the accountability and traceability principles end-to-end.
NIST AI RMF 1.0
Govern, Map, Measure, Manage. The Measure + Manage functions map directly to KYE™ runtime-evidence + revocation primitives.
Coverage detail →UK Data (Use and Access) Act 2025
Automated-decision provisions + Information Commissioner powers + cross-government data-sharing regime. KYE™ records keep the data-use trail contemporaneous.
NHS DSPT + DCB 0129 / 0160
For public-sector health bodies. KYE™ binds the clinical-safety case to the runtime decision; see clinical AI.
FOI / Subject-access compatibility
Evidence Packs™ structured to satisfy FOI + DSAR requests: replayable, redactable where statutory exemptions apply, signed end-to-end.
Public-sector deployment
Sovereign cloud, citizen-held privacy, parliamentary-grade audit.
- Sovereign cloud — UK G-Cloud, EU GAIA-X, Crown Hosting, or the customer's own data-centre / OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE-eligible region.
- Customer KMS — signing keys live in the department's HSM; KYE™ never has access.
- Open verifier — any oversight body (NAO, PHSO, ICO, equivalent) can replay an Evidence Pack™ using only the publisher's JWKS — no vendor dependency in the audit path.
- Right-to-erasure + statutory exemptions — PII referenced by URN, not embedded; redaction obligations are first-class lifecycle states.
- Apache 2.0 schemas + vocabulary — the proof formats are open. Departmental procurement evaluates the protocol, not just the vendor.
Public-sector pilot
Shadow first. ATRS records before any enforcement.
Public-sector pilots begin in shadow mode — KYE™ observes one delegated-action workflow and produces ATRS-aligned signed Evidence Packs™ without blocking production. After the evaluation window, the department chooses which Guards to promote to enforce.
Independent — no government affiliation. KYE Protocol™ is an independent protocol and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or part of any government, regulator, or official “Sovereign AI” programme. References to regulators and frameworks describe the requirements KYE™ helps you evidence — not any official relationship.
